The controversy continues: Which is larger - black crappie or white crappie?
With all the new white crappie coming from Poverty Point Reservoir recently that look to make the Louisiana's top 10 records, crappie (sac-a-lait) anglers should take note.
A minority of us crappie anglers over the years have been pretty much alone in thinking that white crappie can reach larger sizes than the black, so I also researched the top crappie from southern and southeastern states.
Lo and behold . . . 7 of the 11 states demonstrated the white crappie as the largest crappie on record.
The gist of it all is when comparing white and black crappie of equal length in inches - usually the black crappie will deliver larger fillet sizes due to the white crappie's denser bone structure.
